Our policy has always been no... if your child still requires narcotic medication, they should be at home getting it, due to the side effects, plus we don't like having it at school regardless of whether or not it's locked up.... We like for kids to come back to school when they're on prn Tylenol or Ibuprofen.
Anyway... I have a precious little snowflake who has already been out 8 days for a broken foot, and mom brought her back in today and mom went absolutely nuts on me because she couldn't leave Tylenol 3 in the clinic for her to receive at lunchtime. She had it home this AM before school. Mom said, "I should have just kept her home then!"
She did end up leaving ibuprofen but she was not happy about it, and was even more upset when I said I would not send home the ibuprofen home daily with her student, that she had to provide a bottle to stay at school.
Happy Monday morning!
